All volumes in matching blue cloth with green Morocco lettering pieces on spines with gilt-tooled titles Provenance: Bibliothèque de Association Genérale des Étudiants de Paris: Section Coloniale [stamps] Complete set of texts from the comprehensive French exploration of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Signed and inscribed by Auguste Pavie. Pavie, the French diplomat and explorer, spent much of his career in Indochina, becoming the first French Governor-General and minister plenipotentiary of Laos. During his career, he organized several expeditions in French Indochina, the result of which is the Mission Pavie compendium, which describes the peoples, zoology, literature, languages, and history of the region. The first mission, from 1879 to 1885, covered Cambodia and Southern Siam as far as Bangkok. The second mission, from 1886 to 1889, covered Northeastern Laos and the Black River in Tonkin as far as Hanoi. The third mission, from 1889 to 1891, explored the Mekong River from Saigon to Luang Prabang. The fourth mission, from 1894 to 1895, covered the areas of Laos that border China and Myanmar on the left bank of the Mekong River, as far as the Red River. The present set is complete and includes all three volumes of the Études Diverses section of the Mission Pavie reports, and all the Géographie et Voyages volumes. The latter section is comprised as follows: Vols. I and II: Exposé des Travaux de la Mission. Vol. III: Voyages au Laos et chez les sauvages du sud-est de l'Indo-chine; Vol. IV: Voyages au centre de l'Annam et du Laos et dans les regions sauvages de l'Est de l'Indo-Chine; Vol. V: Voyages dans le haut Laos et sur les frontieres de Chine et de Birmanie; and Vol. VI: Passage du Me-Khong au Tonkin (1887 et 1888). The final volume of the Géographie section, present here and published in 1919, is often lacking, and complete sets of the Mission Pavie, as here, are rarely encountered. Loosely inserted is an interesting typescript letter dated December 2, 1903, from the Director of the Colonial Office in France to a deputy, discussing sending a copy of Mission Pavie on behalf of the Governor-General of Indochina (who, at that time, was Jean-Baptiste-Paul Beau).
